Northern Red Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 The funniest tweet I saw yesterday was: "What if the Daleks invade when she's on her period?" Well in that case, they wouldn't stand a f*****g chance mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixtyseconds Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 The Time Lords of Gallifrey were male. The Time Lords could only regenerate into another mutation of themselves not Tits and a Fanny. The left wing Feminazi will have the Daleks baking cakes and washing up as well ....

I watch it because my 11 year old son expects me to watch it with him. I can't believe people watch garbage like Eastenders, Coronation Street et al, but millions do!

LondonBristolian Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 I don't really see why this is a big deal at all. Since 2005 every single Doctor they have cast has been a bold, leftfield and interesting choice and only Capaldi and Ecclestone have even been anything like household names. Every doctor they have cast has been different to the last and is someone who has the ability to bring something new and different to the role. I actually think it would have been far more surprising and far more inconsistent with previous casting for Kris Marshall to be given the role - Jodie Whittaker is far more in keeping with previous casting choices.

Fiale Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Was hoping it would be Carey Mulligan who played Sally Sparrow - anyway not watch Dr Who for a long time now, the story/plot lines have just become to ridiculous (yes even for Dr Who) and some of the under lying story/arc plots are stupidly (and intentionally) confusing, nonsensical and outright ridiculous.

Dollymarie Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 I've not enjoyed Capaldi at all as the doctor, but continued to watch because I enjoy the show. I cant believe how many people are losing their shit about a female having been cast. She's a great actress and I'm sure she will do a great job.

Cuzzzz .. The lefty BBC didn't have to put a clit on the Doctor and turn it into Mrs Who. Mrs Who could have whizzed around in her own Tardis, in her own show, on its own to appease the cock hating feminazi ... Instead of piggy backing another ... Maybe it would have been popular and strong enough to run for fifty years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it would have been popular and strong enough to run for fifty years. I am not going to lie to you. I've not wholly understood much of what you have posted. A few points though: 1) It was Chris Chibnall's decision, not the BBC. 2) I have heard nothing to suggest the Doctor is going to be changing names. The Doctor has never been Mr Who and I would be very surprised if the Doctor was Mrs Who. I suspect the Doctor will still be known as the Doctor. 3) Not entirely sure anyone is being appeased. There was hardly a chorus of people demanding a female Doctor, just a few people who thought it might be interesting. Speaking personally, I only wanted an interesting casting choice, which I feel we have got. 4) I really don't get how the character significantly changes due to having breasts and a vagina rather than a cock and balls. 5) I suspect the fifty years of success for Doctor Who is far more to do with strong storytelling than the genitalia of the actors involved. 6) I'm pretty certain William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertree, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Christopher Ecclestone, David Tennant, Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi did not succeed in the role because they happened to have a cock and balls but because they are fantastic actors. I myself have a cock and balls. I suspect from your post that you might have a cock and balls too. I don't think my cock and balls particularly qualifies me to star in Doctor Who and I suspect your cock and balls doesn't particularly qualify you to do so either. 7) I find it odd people are talking as though there is some sort of weird precedent set and that this is somehow a problem for Doctor Who. For a start, Doctor Who has always been pretty flexible on the rules of time and space. Regeneration was made up on the spot to sort out a particular plot point. The Tardis impenetrable but this has regularly been forgotten when it suits a plot. Doctor Who regularly changes its rules as it goes along. 8) I accept three years ago a female doctor would have been out of the blue but it has been established in the series, both by the casting of a female Master and by dialogue in the show, that Time Lords can change gender when they regeneration so it is not at all inconsistent with the rules of the story world. 9) I genuinely do not understand these poor ickle male snowflakes who feel desperately upset and threatened because one in thirteen of a fictional two-hearted shapeshifting alien's regenerations have made them female. It's not really a high percentage, is it? 10) My guess is that the result of this casting is a few confusing people who are overconcerned with the balance of testosterone and oestrogen in someone's body will stop watching the show. A few people will watch because the Doctor is female and the vast majority of the audience won't really care and will carry on as before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 I think that may well end up with what is termed a Positive Feedback Circuit, Major. Usually causes nasty problems for the Doc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But those of us who are perfectly fine with a female doctor are the ones not making an issue out of gender. You are the one making this a gender issue, not Chibnall or the BBC. You didn't want to read my long post so I'll make this simple and ask one question: Do you REALLY sit watching TV shows spending your entire time glancing at the crotch of the main characters just to check whether there is a bulge or not? I am assuming the answer must be "yes" because, if it was "no" then I cannot see any possible reason why this could possibly be an issue. Personally I watch Doctor Who and focus on the story rather than exactly where the cast members have bulges in their clothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazred Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Tom Baker spent years travelling around with a Timelady in the 70s. Not sure what all the fuss is about. Dr Who has always had strong female characters. Each regeneration offers the opportunity to bring a different personality to the Dr. Getting harder to diversify that when you only cast white males in the role.
